One video can change your life. When Zak isn't scoring goals for
his local football team, Redwood Rangers, he is endlessly working
on his freestyle videos with his dad. And when one of those videos
goes viral, his whole life changes. As the views come rolling in,
everyone wants a piece of him. Barcelona want him to shoot an
advert with Messi. Major sports brands want to endorse him.
Suddenly his face is on every sports channel. But as his celebrity
status grows, Zak begins to realise that online fame isn't all it's
cracked up to be. Tekkers is an amusing and entertaining story
about the power of social media with the core message that
followers are great, but friends are even better. This is the first
book in a planned trilogy of books following Zak on his football
and YouTube journey.

Two heavy-hitters in children's literature deliver a critically
acclaimed, bestselling biographical novel of cultural icon Muhammad
Ali. "This utterly delightful story about Ali's childhood is a
smash hit."--School Library Journal (starred review) Before he was
a household name, Cassius Clay was a kid with struggles like any
other. Kwame Alexander and James Patterson join forces to vividly
depict his life up to age seventeen in both prose and verse,
including his childhood friends, struggles in school, the racism he
faced, and his discovery of boxing. Readers will learn about
Cassius' family and neighbors in Louisville, Kentucky, and how,
after a thief stole his bike, Cassius began training as an amateur
boxer at age twelve. Before long, he won his first Golden Gloves
bout and began his transformation into the unrivaled Muhammad Ali.
Fully authorized by and written in cooperation with the Muhammad
Ali estate, and vividly brought to life by Dawud Anyabwile's
dynamic artwork, Becoming Muhammad Ali captures the budding
charisma and youthful personality of one of the greatest sports
heroes of all time. Longlisted for the 2022-2023 Indiana Young
Hoosier Book Award, and nominated for the 2021-2022 Black Eyed
Susan Book Award!

""Dad had asked me to give him a hand, and that's exactly what I
was doing. I was fast becoming part of the fourteen-cent chopped
meat special--which, I'm told, was not a big seller for the rest of
the day.""

exactly what eleven-year-old Norm finds out when he loses his left
hand in an accident at his family's store. It's July 4, 1946. World
War II has ended, and life is getting back to normal. But for Norm,
the pressing question now is whether he will ever be able to play
baseball again. And what about his dreams of becoming an artist?
Norm can't even figure out how to tie his shoes anymore. How will
he ever learn how to pitch or catch or swing a bat with no left
hand? It's up to Norm to find the strength to get beyond this
roadblock and move on with his life.
